Safe EMS Case Study - Haskins - download our pdf
Solution
By adding Safe Computing's Topaz EMS time and attendance functionality with HR and payroll software, together with Grosvenor Technology terminals, Haskins were able to increase efficiency and create an almost entirely automated system for all sites. Grosvenor Technology specialises in finger biometric clocking terminals and installed four RS09 terminals. These terminals are managed by ‘Custom Exchange’ a communication software solution by Grosvenor which offers a very easy and efficient process for the enrolment and distribution of staff fingerprint templates to the RS09 terminals. There are numerous benefits to fingerprint biometrics over other technologies. Cards can get lost and could be used by unauthorised personnel. Similarly, keypad codes can be forgotten or seen and then used by the wrong hands. In terms of recording time and attendance for correct payroll information, fingerprint biometrics means no person other than that specific employee can clock in or out of the system.

Safe Computing, the developers of market leading Safe Tempest software, has unveiled a new cloud based solution for recruiters and buyers of temporary labour.
Safe Time can be used by recruitment agencies to manage on-site recruitment operations or enable recruiters to provide neutral vendor services in the market.
Alternatively, it can also be used by companies who employ temporary labour to directly manage and coordinate the recruitment suppliers they use and monitor AWR compliance for the temps they employ.

Safe are pleased to announce that SWIIS has just signed a deal for the installation of Safe’s Front Office and web portal software for the staffing sector. The deal includes Safe’s fully AWR ready Front Office solution, e-time, e-expenses and our mobile time capture solution. The agreement is in addition to the current Safe solutions used by SWIIS, which includes Pay and Bill, Scanning and HR and Payroll technology.

Modern day definitions of cloud computing vary, however accounts of the origin of the term seems the same. It is thought the term ‘cloud computing’ arose from schematics drawn by developers, where a cloud symbol would be placed around any web based portal which sent and received information to remotely based hardware and software for processing. From this perspective the term could be dated back to the 1990’s, however the label ‘cloud computing’ in relation to this has only sprung to life and the media recently, as increasing numbers of companies turn to web based solutions.

International recruiter Omega Resource Group plc has recently invested in the Safe Tempest and Safe AWR software solution.
Founded in 1998, Omega Resource Group plc is a rapidly growing multi site resource business, anticipating a £30M+ turnover for 11/12. By employing the use of Safe Tempest software, Omega will join around half of the UK top 50 recruiters who currently use this software.

How do you save on payroll time? Automate your back pay and input for the future
This time of year companies review salaries. As the economy starts to recover and flourish, salaries can increase. When remuneration goes up, back pay can need to be issued dating back to whenever the rise was first issued or discussed. Many HR and payroll systems are unable to fully cope with this change. The few that can seldom manage to calculate back payments for anything other than standard salaries. So back pay of overtime, or of percentage based schemes such as shift allowances based on a percentage of salary payments, in addition to standard pay rates, may need to be manually calculated and processed.

One of the market leading suppliers of payroll and HR software and financial and credit control software, Safe Computing, are exhibiting at Softworld again. This year Safe are unveiling and demonstrating the latest versions of Safe EMS, Safe Financials and Safe Credit Control software. To mix up the proceedings, famed for being a star attraction at X-Factor wrap up parties, magician to the stars Robert Fox will be performing on Safe’s stand at the show.

Are you running around interviewing for 360O appraisals? Don’t!
Did you know software could do that for you?
Around this time of year companies review budgets and in line with other internal reviews, conduct appraisals. For the last year or two, there has been a trend shift towards 360O appraisals and away from the traditional linear approach where an employee is reviewed purely by their direct line manager. 360O appraisals are seen as more fair than the traditional approach, allowing for more resources within the organisation to comment on the progress and needs of the employee.
